We are honored to partner with the Tufts University (Massachusetts) Occupational Therapy Doctoral Program to research the outcomes of the HEAL MAMAS tool.

This collaboration aims to gain a better understanding of how the HEAL MAMAS advocacy tool helps families in the perinatal period. Ideally, those who use the tool will report improved communication with their medical providers, better understanding of their risk and protective factors in terms of perinatal mood disorders and more support from their natural supports.

Beginning in winter 2025-26, this project has the potential to grow in years to come with various OT Doctoral students helping along the way. We are so very thankful for the partnership and hope it is a mutually beneficial collaboration!
